I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to replace the notifyOSD with the XFCE version (I like how you can dismiss the notification). I had a look in Synaptic and saw that there was a notifyosd-xfce but when I clicked install Syanptic wanted to remove the Gnome Desktop.

How do I add this without messing everything up?

The package name is xfce4-notifyd and it will only remove notify-osd (as they cannot co-exist) and the ubuntu-desktop metapackage. Latter one won't harm your system, but it has some downsides, see: What are the downsides of removing ubuntu-desktop metapackage?

That said: I don't know if xfce4-notifyd does what you want, but trying it won't hurt your system, as you can always go back by re-installing the ubuntu-desktop metapackage.
